`` I don't have many strays coming to my front door '', he said.

`` I mean, we don't have any way to get there and we can't expect you to quit work just to take us to town ''.

He stopped, embarrassed, and Morgan said, `` I understand that, but I don't savvy why you'd go off and leave your jobs in the first place ''.

I don't know yet, it's crazy ; ;

I don't want to leave it ''.

Now dammit, I don't want to go into any more explanations.

It's bigger than it has to be, though I don't see where it's doing any harm.

`` I don't mind washing dishes now and then '', he said pleasantly.

I don't know what goes on around here, and I don't care.

I don't know what makes you think you can get away with this kind of business, and I don't care about that, either.

We've been starving and I don't like to starve ''.

I'm well aware that you've got a pedigree as long as my leg, and that I don't amount to anything.

`` I don't know, Tom.

But there's one thing I never seen or heard of, one thing I just don't think there is, and that's a sportin' way o' killin' a man ''!!

`` I don't know, Mr. Brenner '', he said haltingly, beginning to get an inkling of Brenner's plans.

If I don't come back in the house, Breed's going to '' --

I don't know what you're up to, but when Brenner '' --

When they were finally satisfied, Jones said, `` I think he's going to give us work ''.

I have to think about it.

I remember being told it would happen so fast people would think it took place overnight.

`` I think Montero did right '', Amy said firmly.

`` I think you stink, Tom Lord!!

I think you're mean and hateful and stupid, and -- louder ''??

You think that Highlands swindled you and I helped 'em do it.

`` But I still think Penny's an awful nice girl, Russ '' --

`` No, I remembered reading about you in the papers and that you lived here, and when it happened all I could think of was '' -- This time she stopped the rush of words herself.

I showed her the shower and tub, and she said, smiling, `` If you really don't mind, I think I'll get clean in the shower, then soak for a few minutes in your tub.

However, when there's a job to be done, I'm a monstrosity of grim determination, I like to think.

I worked for my Uncle ( an Uncle by marriage so you will not think this has a mild undercurrent of incest ) who ran one of those antique shops in New Orleans' Vieux Carre, the old French Quarter.

If I even hint at it do you think it will matter that you are his nephew -- and not even a blood nephew ''??

`` I don't want to be thrown out and I don't think I will.

I think I have a way so we can carry on without his suspecting us ''.

and now I think we can use the knowledge they passed on to us.

After I would finish playing the songs, he'd just go away without a comment.

I wouldn't hear from him for a couple of weeks, then he'd come around with the completed lyric ''.

I heard of some that tried it back in the States, and he'd knock them clear across the room.

I have observed that being up on a horse changes the whole character of a man, and when a very small man is up on a saddle, he'd like as not prefer to eat his meals there.

Occasionally if I pushed him too far he'd give me a look out of narrowed eyes and the hard cruel bony skull would show through that smooth face of his.

I used to play with the older one sometimes, when he'd let me.

He was all shoveled up like I thought he'd be.

He was awful angry because he'd thought Ma was going to do something big, something heroic even, especially for her I know him I know him we felt the same sometimes while Ma wasn't thinking about that at all, not anything like that.

I had a bowl of decent chowder, phoned the Doc and he said he'd leave the death statements with his girl -- in a half hour.

When he handed it back and I had hold of it safely, Pops was looking toward me and I said `` Now '', to Charlie and he swung the short length of lead pipe he'd meanwhile taken from his pocket, once.

Johnnie I suddenly realized he'd been totally out of my thoughts all evening.

The segment would always open up spoofing Burma-Shave road signs as some of the Hee-Haw cast were seen piled on a truck driving down the road to Slim's Bar-B-Q whose guests often complained about the food to which Slim would counter with something like " I may not have prime meat at this picnic but I do have prime entertainment ..." and then he'd bring out the entertainment.

Because he'd been sitting in my house with my acoustic guitar, writing these songs like ' I Don't Care ', fucking up my guitar, and suddenly he's this guy on stage who you can't take your eyes off of.

He describes the incident as follows, " When I look for my buddy I see he'd stripped and piled his clothes by the roadside ...

Had I warned him about the scaffolding, tomorrow he'd be hit by a taxi.

If I warned him about the taxi, he'd fall in the shower and break his neck.

' I knew he'd be a movie star in two years.

He would also slip in spoof commercials and sponsor's announcements for " Dobbiroids ", the wonder horse rejuvenator, or " Dobbimist " horse deodorant ( a cure for UFO: under-fetlock odour ), or " Dobbitex " horse cummerbunds-he would claim that he'd been " got at ": paid money to plug the product, because he claimed to be only paid a pittance as a senior BBC announcer, " I want things, I need things, things the other radio announcers have got!

I was burrowing ahead trying to get to the park as quickly as possible and then the next thing I knew, I turned around and I saw he'd gone white, gray really, and he fell and his hand brushed me as he fell and he hit the pavement with the most terrible crack and I thought he'd fractured his skull.
